They do not "talk" to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have their ways of communicating with each other.Can you see the rabbit's tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run away. They know that they are in danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal.Many other animals use this kind of "language". When a cobra(眼镜蛇)is angry, it raises its head and makes itself look fierce(凶猛的). This warns other animals. When a bee has found food, it goes back to its home. It cannot "tell" the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance. This tells the bees where the food is.Some animals "say" things by making sound. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs(发咕噜声)when it is pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sound like "Oh" or "Ah" when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes(脚趾).（）31. Which one is true according to the passage?A. Animals do have a language like that of human beings.B. Bees communicate with each other by dancing.C. Animals can use words.D. Animals are brave.（）32. A rabbit uses its tail to ________.A. warn other rabbits when they are in dangerB. tell other rabbits where food isC. make itself look fierceD. help it to run fast（）33. When a cobra is angry, it ________.A. makes a loud noiseB. raises its headC. moves up and downD. does a little dance（）34.

The first two went round a corner. Suddenly the old man saw a piece of paper on the ground. He picked it up. The old man found it was five pounds. A few seconds(秒) later, the young woman came back. She was crying. "I have dropped five pounds," she said. "Don't cry," said the old man, "Here it is." The young woman thanked him and went away. After a few seconds, the big man came back. He was looking for something. Suddenly a window opened and a small man looked out. "I saw five Pounds fall from your pocket," he said, "but that man gave it to a young woman." The big man was very angry. The old man was very afraid and gave him another five pounds. When the old man had gone, the youngwoman came back to get her one pound thirteen shillings (先令) and four pence (便士), and the small man came out to get the same money.

He was eleven years old, but he was already able to talk like an adult( 成人). Poor Dickey had a very serious illness, and now he was hardly able to move any part of his body except his hands. Joan knew he would never get any better, but he was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of about himself.Dickey knew that Joan loved dancing, so now when she came to say good-night to him, he greeted her with the words, "I' m very sorry that you have to miss the dance because ofus.
